wow.
ms. gallop remains annoyingly brilliant. it's high time she ran the world.
The song in the background makes this entire video. I have now listened 4 times to figure out who this musical genius is? Can someone please tell me? I am hooked.
Amazing apartment! A real work of art, just like its owner,
M Depp - the music in the background are by DarlingCait - http://www.darlingcait.com/ - 'I'm Like A Ninja'.
This apartment and Cindy Gallop are exquisite. Thank you for such kind words about my music, m depp. "I'm Like A Ninja" will be available on iTunes and other online music stores shortly. In the meantime, visit http://www.darlingcait.com
Brave. Wicked. Crazy. Cool.
I've been hearing great things about Cindy for the last few years from some of her friends...and have been dying to see her apartment and now I have..I also love the music..it's all pretty amazing...
Wowza! "Filled to the brim," yes. Love the lack of white (the objects DO pop) and love the fact that it makes me feel much less guilty about my slightly cluttered space. Fun vid!
Terrific space! Being trained as an architect, and not liking the conventional, this is brilliant. Good tunes, too.
Awesome space..Entetaining vid! Always great to see spaces by designers not afraid to push the envelope and the client. And a bug thanks to Darling Cait for "I'm Like A Ninja"
love it! what a wonderful collection...everything does pop. ms. gallop...you are so cool!
bleh. an annoying, over-crowded and pompous apartment that fits its owner to a T.
That was fun!
Yes, the song is what makes this video...The apartment is quite interesting and somehow manages to draw you in even if this is not your usual style. While Ms. Gallop is a little over-the-top and cliched in performance (she tries to hard to prove herself), in the end she fits the video's vision very well. Hats off to the director.
awsome woman, amazing apartment, stunning collection! Songit; do i sense envy in your words? because she doesn't seem to be acting about anything to me...did she pretend to collect 30 years of personal belongings just to prove herself??? after all, aren't we all what we live with in a way?
Can we say narcassasist? Give me a break lady!
What a fun way to live your life! She's confident, risky, and fun. And it shows in her lifestyle choices. Bravo to Dwell and strong woman everywhere!
I love the mongoose/cobra piece! Very unique and inexpensive find.
I can hear myself saying, "turn on the light" over and over.
i liked the apartment with the exception of the dead animals. that was awful.
All black apartment, with a bunch of stuffed, dead animals, ornate furniture and one's belongings... it's like staying in a crypt.
Those shoes were designed by Rem Koolhaas's nephew... not Rem Sr. Otherwise– I love her!
Ghastly.
Wow! I am so intrigued. I want to find out about Cindy Gallop. I am very impressed with her shoes' collection and her bookcase. It really sparkles my senses!!! What a great creation!
LOVE THIS!!! Kudos to Gary!
What an incumberance it woudl be to have all those things, constantly sweeping and dusting because itny specks show up easily on black surfaces but then i guess she has a cleaner. but she must always be watchig for thievery and breakages when she has parties. I think the place is VERY personal to her but i do prefer space for living rather than clutter to look at, and a neutral one at that so my mind can think instead of being hemmed in by those trinkets.
i am not that into this..
Very cool piece. Maybe bring down the music levels; trouble hearing her.
Lol, this isn't a small space by any means, her living room is probably double the size of my entire apartment. Additionally displaying shoes as art is tacky unless the shoes are actually art or were worn by somebody famous. I love the idea of this apartment, but it seems like the black night club appearance is a mismatch for the owners collection of yucky dead animals and tons of books.
Cindy is my hero.... she has a prime location with history, bold statement of color, the way the space is designed and flows is comfortable and natural, plus the style in which all forms of art framed or otherwise is carefully thought out and displayed lovingly. Bravo for Dwell and the team that made this video! Go Cindy, keep up the insanely great collection!
WOW! What a amazing way to live. I love it!
Vampira's den of morbidity. GVR
Awesome! I painted my place all gold, but huh--may need to get black paint today.
Bold and unfettered, reminiscent of "Ye old Curiosity Shop" without an admission fee.
The black is a sensible choice to accentuate the artwork... Exceptional.
I loved this video! Great color, terrific art, really wonderful. She proves the beauty of black. Good job to the designer who made the bold suggestion to go black!
best design video ever... love it!
